Chocolate Rolo Cookies

Here is an INCREDIBLE cookie when you're sick of the good old chocolate chip. I took a bunch of these to work and one of my coworkers at four, one right after another! Probably would have had more but realized there wouldn't be any left for anyone else if he did. :)

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
granulated sugar, for rolling cookies
About 40 Rolo candies

In a bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until batter is smooth. In another bowl, combing flour, cocoa and baking soda. Mix that into the sugar/egg mixture to form soft dough.

Chill the dough in the fridge for at least a half hour. This makes it a lot easier to work with when you're rolling the dough. Preheat the oven to 350. Then take about 1 tbsp. dough and wrap it around each unwrapped Rolo to form a ball, with the Rolo completely covered by dough. Roll each ball in a little granulated sugar, and cook on a baking sheet for about 6 to 8 minutes. The balls should now look more like a pillowy mound. Pull them out, let them sit for a minute or two, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Some recipes say you should take them out when they've expanded and cracked on top, but we've found that if you do so, they may taste great out of the oven, but they don't taste nearly as good after 24 hours or so. If you pull it out early when you almost think its not even done yet, then let them finish cooking on the cookie sheet and cooling rack, they'll be delicious for days!
